I'm an auditor in a PwC for already eight years and in the same time totally in love with photography. Hope that one day balance of audit/photography in my life will change in favor of the second :) I love this world and the life. Adore meeting new people and travelling. Have travelled over Europe a lot and yet to go to the more distant places on the Earth :)

I've grew up in Donetsk but live in Kiev for already 4 years. I love Kiev and in fact think that any city staying along the river/see/ocean has this special magic. Well, I'm pisces as a zodiac sign, so maybe that's the case I adore the water so much )

Maybe the best way to describe yourself is to say what you're obsessed with. So will start )

>>> People and photography<<<
Just love to see how we're different and in the same time similar to each other. Maybe that's why I'm into portrait photography so much. What I value a lot is a sincerity - your political/religious/any-any other views do not matter a lot for me in case you're open and sincere with yourself and others. Also adore people who create something and are passionate about what they do in this life. You may create anything - a baker, who is baking the best croissants each morning, the actor who understands that stage is all his/her life, scientist who is a big dreamer and wants to help people travel to Mars ;), bus-driver who loves driving children to the school each morning. All such people are just a big source of energy and inspiration for me. With such people I can meet for a first time and talk all the night over and on all topics over - this is just about me :)

>>>Nature<<<
I've grew up in Donetsk - this is an industrial town all surrounded by mines and metallurgical plants and which is located in steppe. And in the same time I just adore mountains and water in any form )) I can sit on the cliff watching how the sun is sitting down in the sea for hours ) I also remember my first impression when I saw an ocean in Portugal - this was just breathtaking.

>>>Snowboarding<<<
Oh this is the thing I'm really obsessed with. I don't drive a car and can say nothing if I like sense of high speed on a highroad. But I can say for sure that there is nothing better than riding on just fallen down snow in the forest with huge mountains surrounding you and listening to the favourite music simultaneously. Ohhh if you haven't tried this yet, you really should try this ))

>>>Traveling<<<
The person who likes people and nature for sure would want to see how this world is big and beautiful ) The best way for me is not to "tick the box" visiting main attractions but just to hang over the streets, watch people and their routine, sit on the grass in the park drinking some wine and all like that :)

>>>Music, films and reading<<<
This is just a big source of inspiration. Will tell more about this a bit further )

>>>Dancing<<<
I used to be in a sport dancing for a ten years. Sense of dancing in a big hall with several hundred thousands of people who came to watch this event is just a breathtaking experience :)

Well..it seems that this text already started being too long )) I can also say that I adore cats and dogs, doing yoga, spring, eating delicious food and drinking good wine, watching sunsets and sunrises and many-many more :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm into traveling and meeting new people. I also like a lot this philosophy of shared economy and shared world - if I have some resource (including apartment, time, experience, knowledge etc), I would always love to share it with the person who needs it rather than he/she would spend additional resources in this world to get this.

I would also say that I'm new to CS but it is interesting for me to understand how all this works :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: rock, soul, jazz and a lot of other but not heavy one

Movies - I'm really a good film lover ) This is even hard to start listing my favourites as too many of such :)

Books - my dad used to have a bookstore a lot of time ago so read really a lot. In the same time, since starting doing audit unfortunately lack time and read not so much as would like to. From the latest things - liked Shantaram and also all kind of Max Frei fiction )

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share any experience I have and which will be valuable for other people :) This includes (and is not limited to :)
>>Dancing tango
>>Languages: Russian, Ukrainian, English
>>Cooking
>>Taking photos
